IPhone 5 Apps not installing

Received an iPhone 5 on Friday. I performed an iCloud restore from a recent backup. All apps that were part of the backup installed properly (eventually), however any new apps, as well as updates to existing apps, do not install. They all hang on "waiting".
Deleting the hung app and rebooting the phone does not solve the issue.
I also noticed that under iCloud, the phone was still sitting at "restoring" after 3 days. Cancelling the restore did not solve the issue either.
Thoughts?

Try doing this----It MIGHT just solve your problem, as it did mine.
I had apps which were purchased on my iPhone 5. I uninstalled several apps to free up some space a few days back. Suddenly, a few hours ago it wasn't letting me install some old purchased apps. It infact categorised many of these apps under the 'Not on this device' tab under Purchases. Then I realised as I had got a new debit card and cancelled the old one, the payment info was still linked to my cancelled debit card. So as a security measure I was not able to download the apps which now according to the payment terms 'belonged to someone else'. So I just went into the app store in my settings----->apple id------>payment info----->modified this.
Restarted the iPhone and voila, it linked back perfectly to my iCloud backup of purchases!!!
Hope this helps.

Lost iPhone 4s, "Find My iPhone" app not installed

Hi,
I lost my iPhone 4s and didn't have "Find My iPhone" app installed. Is there a way for Apple to remote install it for me? I also don't have iCloud set up on the phone.
Thanks for the help.

I had my iPhone 4 stolen last night and when i logged into find my phone it appeared offline. I did the remote wipe from iCloud and got a message that read that it couldnt process because the phone was not connected to the internet. A few minutes later I received an email that the remote wipe had begun and that it couldnt be reverted.
20 minutes later the message on iCloud was that the Location of my iPhone couldnt be updated because it had been wiped. My question is does that message indicate that the remote wipe was completed? I just dont know if the phone was able to have access to the internet or had been turned off ever since it was stolen.
Would appreciate comments

Iphone will not install from App store

I have a problem where my iphone will not install apps from the appstore.
Description:
If I select to install an app in appstore i get prompted for my password. When password is entered no installation starts, but after a brief moment the button to install the app is highlighted again as it were before I pressed it. The app never gets installed.
- I tried with several different apps with the same result.
- I am running IOS6.0 (10A403).
- 5GB free space on the phone
- I am positive that the apple ID password is entered correctly. I changed it twice to see if it made any difference, but no luck, and I also tried entering a faulty password. Withe the faulty password I got a dialogue saying the password is wrong. This dialogue does not appear with the correct password.
- I restarted the phone. No luck with that either.
- Phone is an Iphone 4 100% original.
Any suggestions for a solution?

Can you download the games in iTunes on your computer?
Do you have any restrictions set up in Settings/General/Restrictions that prevent you from installing apps or certain apps?

TS1702 What to do when you get "iTunes library app not installed on iPhone; app could not be found"

What to do when you get "iTunes library app not installed on iPhone; app could not be found". None of the Apple suggestions fix the problem. For example, with Animoto, one of the problem apps, I have removed it, reinstalled it, and still get the eoor message.

Of course.
First of all, this started when an external drive i was using died on me. I have no doubt that these apps indeed are off my system. I figure between the apps I've bought for myself and my kid, I have about 150 apps.
Now. The issue.
When I sync my iPad with iTunes on my desktop, it goes through normally until it gets to the apps. When that happens, it get an error box that reads "Some of the apps in your iTunes library were not installed on the iPad because one or more errors occurred. For a list of appps that could not be installed, click on the triangle below."
Then I get a list of apps.
(Added note to any iTunes developers out there: The titles of the apps in this list do not always match the titles of the apps in the App Store. For example, one was called "MuseumGame" on my iPad. It's called "Museum of Thieves" on the App Store. I started out with a list of 60 apps. It was a major pain to track them all down. It would be nice to have everything the same so I can use the App Store search more effectively.)
Anyway, moving on....
The error message stops my sync until I dismiss it. That, honestly, is what makes this whole thing annoying enough to seek out an answer. I can't let my iPad start syncing and walk out of the room. Yeah. I know. First World problems.
Once I dismiss the error, the sync continues and all is well.
I did the following to try to fix the problem. Mostly, I did a lot of searches:
My list of purchased apps on my iPad both using the search box and by going to every page
Searched the main App Store on my iPad using the search field. When that didn't work, I used wider searches and just scanned the page(s) for the little cloud icon that showed I had purchased the app.
I got on my desktop iTunes and searched the apps from there (without a lot of hope, but trying to be complete)
At that point, I came to the conclusion that a small number of the apps are no longer available on the App Store.
Fine. I didn't want them anyway.
I got into iTunes and went to the Apps page. None of the errant apps showed up there. I searched the iTunes help files. Nothing. I crossed my fingers, said a little prayer to the search engine gods, and tried Google. I found some things that sort of matched but they basically boiled down to "re-download the app from the App Store" or "Restore your iPad".
So I spent a couple of hours restoring my iPad. I got the error message again. I hit Google again and came up with this thread. It was as close to my problem as I found.
I think that brings us up to date.
My fundamental problem is that I seem to have found a scenario where if you have to restore apps (because, perhaps, your external drive died) and some of the apps are no longer available for download, there is an error generated that can not be permanently dismissed.
Did I miss anything important?

I have followed the directions and my iphone is not installing the iOS 7.0.2. I have the most recent version of itunes on my laptop commuter. my iphone is attached to my laptop via usb port. The laptop uses dsl not wifi. Is that my problem?

Exactly what version of iTunes are you running? And DON'T say 'the latest version'... CHECK the version number. You need to be running 11.1 or higher.

How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:

HELP!! iPhone won't work! Software required for iPhone is not installed.

Hey, I have a pretty big problem. I just got the iphone yesterday, and tried all night hooking it up, but no luck. I installed the latest iTunes, but everytime I plug in my iphone, i says it doesn't have the software required to install iPhone. Please uninstall iTunes using setup, then re-install.
Well I do that, 4 times in fact, but same error every time. iTunes works, everything installs, but iPhone just won't activate. Windows sees iPhone and pulls up the auto-play dialog, but iTunes says to keep re-installing.
I called tech support, but was on hold for 2 hours, then just hung up.
If someone could help me out, that would help a LOT
I'm running Vista, 64bit.
ps: Windows says installing driver in the bottom right, and says the driver installs successfully every time. I uninstall the driver manually too, but no luck
"The software required for iPhone is not installed. Please run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install iTunes again."

jaffy,
iTunes is not supported on 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows Vista or XP. As is stated in this kbase article:

To quote the article:

IPhone apps not resuming after phone call - iOS 7 bug

iPhone apps not resuming after phone call - iOS 7 bug
With iOS 6, while playing music on Spotify or playing Candy Crush, etc, if the phone rang and I answered, or if I made a call, once the call was ended, the app I was using would resume. The music would start playing again or the game would resume.
In iOS 7 this isn't working. Listening to music, I answer a call, music stops and when call is ended, nothing! the phone stays on the phone app.
anybody else see this behaviour?
thanks!

Any ideas anyone?
thanks
